Visual Translations of Ancient Script : Re-contextualising the Linear A and Linear B scripts through contemporary visual communication methods and media.

Come and play with ancient scripts This exhibition showcases educational design work, which intends to playfully engage children and the young at heart with the ancient scripts of Linear A and B. Come to see our design proto-types in the same setting as the real Minoan artefacts. This research project was made up of an inter-disciplinary team of Designers and Archaeologists, all contributing their ideas, specific skills and knowledge to this not-for profit research. Collaboratively they have created a number of interactive approaches that aim to engage a broad audience with knowledge and meaning making in relation to the oldest un-deciphered and deciphered European scripts. You are invited to come and play with the proto-types of these designs, to help us test them and reflect on the role of design in bringing archaeological heritage to life.
